About

Housing Law & Policy in Ireland examines Irish housing law and policy within a modern and easily understood framework. Drawing on legislative, case law, policy and human right norms, it offers a clear description of the origin and current status of Irish housing law and policy.

Property rights, mortgages, planning, building standards, State housing supports and subsides are explained and analysed. This book also considers contemporary social housing policy issues. The controversial issue around rural housing are uncovered, along with the growing and newly regulated private rented sector.

Indirect measures which impact on housing law and policy, such as consumer rights, family and equality law and other developments are revealed along with the emerging European dimension to all aspects of Irish housing law and policy.

This unique work, the first book on housing law and policy for the Irish market, offers a timely and important contribution to this hotly debated issue. Up-to-date, clear and extensively referenced, it is essential reading for all those interested in housing law and policy in Ireland.
